I don't know how true this is for other bands, but it was true when I was in high school: How many trumpet players does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Five: one to screw it in, and the other four to complain about how high it is.

Also, there's no repeat at the end. Just a DS al Coda that gets played forever. It would make a terrible ending if the piece ended on the dominant. Also, with the G# accidental, it leads me to believe that the piece in the photo is in A minor... Nice try, OP...

It's more like all the people remember the sucky parts of playing for high school graduation without remembering the exact details of the piece itself. It's so laughably easy that they probably didn't have to look at the music half of the time. Must just watched the conductor for either some repeat hand signal or a cut off.

Yeah, same here. It definitely does seem like it repeats forever though. After three years of playing it, I didn't even want to hear it at my graduation. During class near the end of my senior year, I always had headphones in, just to drown out that damn song.

I don't wanna be that guy, and I know why we all hate this piece. I, too, had to suffer through hearing the trio ten thousand times in a row when I graduated from high school. Man, am I glad I was in choir at the time.

But here's the secret: when played as written, the piece is short, well-balanced, and really packs a punch. It was never intended to have its A section castrated, nor the B section drawn out so long. Seriously, give it a listen. You'll hear the half of the piece nobody ever hears played, and I promise that all together it's a really exciting experience.

Elgar received an honorary doctorate from Yale in something like 1905, and during the ceremony, this march was used (as a recessional, not a processional) for the first time in a graduation. The tradition stuck, obviously in a bad way, but at Yale, it's still played only once through. Thank God!

Oh god. They made us do this bullshit where we had to go back to one of three different spots in the song, and it was up to the director on which one. And our director kept waiting until the last fucking measure to tell us which one, and then got pissed that people were screwing up. When it came around time to start practicing that song my senior year, I was the happiest little camper because I didn't have to play it.

4 years. 4 years of playing that fucking song (since our band had the 8th graders join the high school for it). The day, my senior year, when we pulled this out, the rest of us seniors jumped for joy, laughed, and licked the tears off the crying underclassmen who had to play this song. What a joyous day that was.

You think Pomp and Circumstance is bad? We have this piece in marching band called Besme Mucho, and dear God. We play it at our Homecoming game, and we stand there out on the field playing this for about 4 hours while some preppy girls in dresses cry over themselves. The entire time, I'm holding a 15-20 lbs. Mellophone.

Makes you want to stage a mutiny and have everyone decide after which time through you're all going to tack on a cha-cha-cha and stop. Music wasn't meant to be abusive. Shit, think of the people in the stands -- some of them may not mind it, but I guarantee not one of them will say they liked it.

Just sitting in the middle of the football field for like 4 hours. The wind is blowing my music off my stand, repeating the same thing over and over again. I'm so glad I made it into my school's jazz band so i never have to play this song again.

I was just stating facts and why. People tend to misconceive such things when it comes to classical music because there's a misassociation between classical and high society/snobbery due to historical roots.

Thank you. I really don't get it. People on here blow my mind sometimes. I have no idea how I'd be perceived as "being a dick". I was being as matter-of-fact as possible. Just trying to share some info. Somehow, correcting people for your/you're and there/their/they're gets all the support in the world, but if I share correct, basic terminology for music, I'm an asshole.

Lamb Chop's Play Along, hosted by Shari Lewis. She was a puppeteer and ventriloquist back in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Her signature hand puppet was Lambchop, but she also had Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy. The show aired on PBS back in the early to mid 90s, and featured skits, activities for kids, and other stuff. The show always closed with this song.

I am going into my sixth year playing/being able to even read music and thought I was decently good at all of this, please tell me all of you have majored in music for at least a few years because I feel like an idiot

Our band instructor calls it "pomp and circumcision", since it was almost as painful as going through an actual circumcision. Also a tip to those who play it, the faster you play it the faster the people enter/exit the room.

the only thing I hated more than playing in band during graduation was playing during homecoming. Because not only did you have to play the same damned song forever, but you also had to stand at attention while doing it, which would take about 40 minutes. Many a band nerd passed out that day.

I played trombone in high school, and EVERY OTHER SECTION GOT A TURN AT THE MELODY EXCEPT FOR US AND THE DRUMMERS. My part was an endless boring march of repeating "dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum: quarter notes. Every year we would get to June and I'd nearly have a rage stroke.

One time I decided to help out my former band teacher at graduation because four of the band's five saxes were graduating. We started it too early and played for half an hour. I hadn't played seriously for 6 months so my mouth hurt so bad after that.
